This week’s guest: Mother Jones national voting rights correspondent Ari Berman, author of the new book “Minority Rule: The Right-Wing Attack on the Will of the People—and the Fight to Resist It”

Every week it seems politics gets even more bizarre. A week after Kristi Noem destroys her political career by revealing she’s a puppy killer —

  • Bobby Kennedy Jr. tells us a brain worm has caused permanent damage to his cognitive ability.
  • The latest polls show momentum for President Biden as he campaigns in swing states while Donald Trump alternates between naps in a New York courtroom and fundraising at Mar-a-Lago.
  • Kamala Harris makes a stop in Detroit to highlight the administration’s support for the auto industry electric transformation, and reemphasize the GOP’s drive to outlaw abortion nationwide.
  • Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Mike Rogers is getting blasted for what opponents call a coverup of Hillary Clinton and Benghazi.
  • The very Republican former Lt. Governor of Georgia endorses Biden. In an op-ed in the Atlanta Constitution, Geoff Duncan writes “I am voting for a decent person I disagree with on policy over a criminal defendant without a moral compass.” 
  • Another Georgia Republican, the operations director of the state’s Secretary of State office, is leading a nationwide Republican campaign defending the honesty of elections.
  • Trump’s court appointees are paying him back for their jobs with Florida Judge Aileen Cannon effectively tanking the Espionage Act trial, while the U.S. Supreme Court dithers on whether the President is effectively above the law.
  • Give me money, I’ll protect your metro dollars: Trump seeks $1 billion from oil CEOs, vows to limit EVs
  • ‘A little bold and gross’: Oil industry writes executive orders for Trump to sign
  • How ‘History and Tradition’ Rulings Are Changing American Law
  • Lisa Benson – Counterpoint Media
